Apr 17, 2009 20:17

Gigi Becali, a hugely rich football team owner, politician, quirky philanthropist-slash-Romanian real-estate mobster, has been released from prison today.

That's all it is about! WE might not get bread because of the crisis, but we surely get a lot of circus.

And the bad thing is, that a lot of people are happy with that. A bit of drama and circus and they forget their own sorrows.

They released him? I was so happy he got arrested... but guess miracles last only 3 days in Romania.

If they arrested him for something serious, like his real-estate scams, it would have been normal. But they arrested him for the wrong reason. It was absurd - he was in prison and his bodyguards were there too and the thieves who stole the car weren't even investigated. It was all politically orchestrated.
